Quiche (pronounced keesh) –noun a pielike dish consisting of an unsweetened pastry shell filled with a custard and usually containing cheese and other ingredients, as vegetables, seafood, or ham: spinach quiche. via dictionary.com Making a quiche is high on my list of must-do kitchen projects. Luckily, with the birth of our baby and a loving husband who's hands on in helping take care of her, my motivation is high to whip up something special. Yes indeed, the advent of a special moment calls for a mini-celebration, like the roasted tomato, caramelized onion and ... Continue Reading...
Bobs Magallanes: bbq + burgers + desserts & more
Baby Lucy just had her first visit to her pedia, and it's a happy coincidence that her doctor's clinic is just beside the fairly new Bob's Restaurant in Paseo de Magallanes. The resto is a sentimental favorite for my friends from Bacolod, and having been to Cafe Bob's in the City of Smiles, I don't have to wonder why. Bob's serves down-home comfort food, mostly American favorites like barbecue, baby back ribs and burgers. The only thing about Bob's lone branch (so far) in Manila is the location. This pitstop in Paseo de Magallanes is quite secluded. Let's hope ... Continue Reading...
Mr. Jones, Greenbelt 5
Just when I thought I was becoming tired of the Greenbelt restaurants comes now Mr. Jones. It was certainly nice to meet "him" that warm Thursday afternoon, looking every bit like the hip diner I can hang out for hours and hours in. Hmm, I wonder if they have free wifi ~ my attention seems to have been focused on all the food awaiting us. With two appetizer rounds, a sampling of three main courses, dessert and an ice-cream filled drink, the tasting that awaited us was particularly heavy. I should have skipped lunch :D We were in Mr. Jones coz it collaborated ... Continue Reading...
Hello again, Mario’s!
There were two reasons that would make preggy ol' me brave the rush-hour traffic to Quezon City on a Thursday night: our wedding emcee, Spanky, and his invite to try the delectable dishes awaiting us at Mario's, one of the most enduring restaurants in the Tomas Morato area (operating for 30 or so years now, wouldja believe?) It was time to meet again owners Mrs. Nenuca Benitez and her son Mr. Fil Benitez who were quite excited to introduce their new house specials. One thing about Mario's (in the few times I've dined there), their food doesn't disappoint and their ... Continue Reading...
A P600 four-course meal at Harry’s Bar, Venice Piazza, McKinley Hill
We've eaten a few times at the fairly new Venice Piazza in McKinley Hill, the latest restaurant strip to open near the Fort. I hear the whole complex has a Venetian theme and there will even be those faux gondolas in the future. It all sounds exciting, but the restaurants we've tried on this strip has so far been wanting. Old Vine Grille was a costly disappointment and Stackers burgers weren't really as juicy and tasty as one expects to be. I am forever waiting for Ristras Mexican Grill to open, mostly because San Juan is a long drive from where we live. But the ... Continue Reading...
